Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in the intensive care unit: current challenges and best practices
The prevalence of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is growing in critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). It is increasingly recognized in immunocompetent hosts and immunocompromised ones. IPA frequently complicates both severe influenza and severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) infection.

Abstract Rhinocladiella mackenziei is a highly neurotropic fungus, mainly reported from the Middle East. However, in recent years, there have been some cases from outside this region. We described an additional fatal case of R. mackenziei cerebral infection for the first time from Turkey and made a literature review of all previously reported cases ...

Abstract Scedosporium and Lomentospora species are environmental moulds that are virulent in immunocompromised hosts and rarely cause bloodstream infection (BSI). Patients with Scedosporium and Lomentospora species BSI were identified by the state public laboratory service in Queensland, Australia, over a 20‐year period.

Lomentospora prolificans Disseminated Infections: A Systematic Review of Reported Cases
Background: Lomentospora prolificans, a rare, highly virulent filamentous fungus with high rates of intrinsic resistance to antifungals, has been associated with different types of infections in immunocompromised as well as immunocompetent individuals. Objective: To systematically address all relevant evidence regarding L.

Abstract Objective The infection risk in patients receiving ibrutinib, idelalisib or venetoclax for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) or B‐cell lymphoma treated outside of clinical trials is incompletely defined. We sought to identify the severe infection rate and associated risk factors in a ‘real‐world’ cohort.
